Dream come true? Or disaster? When I got cast in Les Miserables, alongside Isaac, my not-so-secret crush, I thought I'd made it.But it wasn't all it's cracked up to be.You see, I have to sing my true feelings of rejection in front of the entire school. Plan B.If I can get my brother's best friend to agree to be my boyfriend, maybe I won't look like an idiot in front of everyone. But there's a huge problem. I can't ignore my feelings for Isaac, and the more time we spend practicing, the stronger my feelings get. If I can't cool things off with Isaac and start something new with Preston, I might be stuck facing humiliation.A Better Version of Me is the second book in a nine-book rewrite of a contemporary sweet romance series called The Destiny Trilogy. In this series you can expect flirting, blushing, and kisses in the woods, but you won't find any swearing, nudity, or sex.

A Better Version of Me continues right where the first book leaves off. Destiny has a part in the choir that she wanted and will even be starring in the musical. The fact that she will be practicing with her crush (who she really can't date) adds an interesting aspect to the story.

I loved seeing Destiny grow in confidence when it comes to singing and playing the part she was assigned. It's great seeing characters become strong and believe in what they can do. On the other hand, she's a typical teenager and stresses about boys and crushes.

Isaac finds out his girlfriend isn't who he thought she was and is dealing with the consequences. On top of that he's noticing Destiny a lot more, but in many ways that's a forbidden romance. I thought it was interesting that he really started to choose his own feelings over what his father wanted. He was really trying to follow his heart.

Preston starts playing more of a part in this story and I really liked his character. He's a hardworker (tries to help his family out) and seems really sweet. I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of him in the future.

A Better Version of Me really shows us what high school can be like. Insecurities about crushes and relationships, figuring out what you want, following your dream and just being a teenager and enjoying time with your friends. I loved the paintball match they had! 

I have a feeling there may be some sort of love triangle in the future of this series, but I'm very curious to see how it all plays out!
